Encontrar todas as uniões necessárias para ingressar programaticamente em uma tabela

Eu tinha um script que faz uma versão rudimentar da travessia de chave estrangeira. Adaptei-o rapidamente (veja abaixo) e talvez você possa usá-lo como ponto de partida.

Dada uma tabela de destino, o script tenta imprimir a string de junção para o caminho mais curto (ou um deles no caso de empates) para todas as tabelas de origem possíveis, de modo que as chaves estrangeiras de coluna única possam ser percorridas para alcançar a tabela de destino. O script parece estar funcionando bem no banco de dados com alguns milhares de tabelas e muitas conexões FK nas quais experimentei.

Como outros mencionaram nos comentários, você precisa tornar isso mais complexo se precisar lidar com chaves estrangeiras de várias colunas. Além disso, esteja ciente de que este não é, de forma alguma, um código totalmente testado e pronto para produção. Espero que seja um ponto de partida útil se você decidir criar essa funcionalidade!

Você pode colocar a lista de chaves de uma tabela com dois campos TAB_NAME,KEY_NAME para todas as tabelas que deseja conectar.

Exemplo, para mesaCity

• Cidade|Cidade_nome
• Cidade|Country_name
• Cidade|Província_nome
• Cidade|Cidade_Código

da mesma forma Provincee Country.

Colete os dados para as tabelas e coloque em uma única tabela (por exemplo, tabela de metadados)

Agora elabore a consulta como abaixo

select * from
(Select Table_name,Key_name from Meta_Data 
where Table_name in ('City','Province','Country')) A,
(Select Table_name,Key_name from Meta_Data 
where Table_name in ('City','Province','Country')) B,
(Select Table_name,Key_name from Meta_Data 
where Table_name in ('City','Province','Country')) C

where

A.Table_Name <> B.Table_name and
B.Table_name <> C.Table_name and
C.Table_name <> A.Table_name and
A.Column_name = B.Column_name and
B.Column_name = C.Column_name

Isso mostrará como você pode vincular as tabelas com base nas chaves correspondentes (mesmos nomes de chave)

Se você acha que o nome das chaves pode não corresponder, pode incluir um campo de chave alternativo e tentar usá-lo na condição where.
